You did the best for her and I'm sure she appreciated it, just as much as you appreciated her. I'm sorry you're losing her.

I did read your post Aubrey but it's not going to fix her. She has a tumor under her right wing. I'm going to call the UNR extension tomorrow and take her there. I need to find out what it is she has.

So sorry to hear about your hen and the tumor! Last spring I took a young cockerel in for a Necropsy and eventually they sent him on to the state lab. I work on the same property as the new Agricultrual offices and labs (Very nice facility they gave the 4-H families a grand tour)

It cost $30 for the Necropsy, they didn't find anything contagious but I had lost several young cockerels with what I thought was upper respitory infection, I ended up saving the rest with injections of Tylan 50, was a horrible thing, I was afraid it was something really bad too.....and it only affected my cockerels?!?!

Again Sorry for your hen!

Beautiful Wellie egg. I can't believe some breeders try to get rid of speckling. That's what makes it a Wellie egg.

Sheryl I'm so sorry about your hen. Maybe it's something fixable? Who knows, but I'm really sorry. I know you love her.

Thank you everyone. I was thinking the EYP and/or ascite until I found the tumor. I was reading the posts from everyone and decided to check her for a fever under her wing and there it was. It's the size of a silver dollar. All I know for sure is she isn't feeling well at all. The poor thing makes these sounds that I've never heard her make before.

Elizabeth, what a very pretty egg. I'm with Kim, why would they want to get rid of the speckles when they are that pretty? Very nice.

You did the best for her and I'm sure she appreciated it, just as much as you appreciated her. I'm sorry you're losing her.

You are so sweet!

Elizabeth, I love the egg!!! My kids are going to freak when we get our first wellie egg.

Pigtail21, I'm so glad I saw your signature. Last night, my daughter was asking when we could go to a poultry show, and I told her we could go to the next Reno one, whenever it is.

Sheryl, how are you doing today?
